Build a wheelchair ramp for Natália in São Paulo
Help Natália regain independence: a simple ramp build.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil834 views
Natália has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Natália can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate twelve hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Natália's family will cook lunch for the team.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Antônia. Get well soon.
wishing you peace, Antônia. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Badagry so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Spokane.
Rooting for you, Antônia. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima
